30 Year Old Tawny
A blend of wines that together should have the character of being around 30 years old. At this point, we are dealing with truly old wine. The many years spent in barrels have completely transformed the wine from fresh fruit notes to a much more complex profile, leaning towards caramel, syrup, and dried fruits.

30-Year-Old Tawny Port
A blend of wines that together should have the character of being around 30 years old. This Tawny Port marks the beginning of something extraordinary, where aging in oak barrels has created a wine with an abundance of depth and complexity. The younger elements, which might have contributed fruitiness, are almost entirely gone, giving way to much more mature flavors.
The tastes of dried fruits like prunes and figs are now enriched with intense notes of caramel, syrup, roasted nuts, and a hint of spices. The long aging process in barrels has developed a velvety texture that glides effortlessly across the palate, creating a warmth that fills the taste buds with every sip. This wine carries traces of its time in the barrel – it is the pure essence of Tawny Port, where each layer of flavor harmonizes into a unified whole.
The 30-year-old Tawny Port is a true pleasure to enjoy on its own or as the perfect companion to richer desserts such as chocolate fondant, baked apples, or caramelized nuts. It also pairs wonderfully with bold, aged cheeses like Roquefort or a good, mature Gouda.
Tasting Notes:
- Dried fruits like prunes and figs
- Caramel and syrup, with roasted nuts and a hint of spices
- A touch of cream liqueur and light smokiness
- Velvety texture and a long, warming finish
With its remarkable balance between sweetness, complexity, and intensity, the 30-year-old Tawny Port offers a wine experience that is both luxurious and timeless.
